Marcos thanks supporters for well-wishes during isolation

President Ferdinand “Bongbong” Marcos Jr. has expressed his gratitude to the people who flooded his social media accounts with well-wishes as he recovered from his second bout with Covid-19.

In his recent vlog, Marcos said that he is now feeling better since testing positive for the virus on July 8.

“Sa wakas ay tapos na ang aking isolation period. Sa awa ng Diyos, ay wala na akong sintomas, at mabuti-buti na ang aking pakiramdam (Finally my isolation ended. By God’s grace, I no longer have symptoms and I’m now feeling better),” he said.

The President recognized the numerous wishes for his recovery that dominated his social media accounts.

“Gusto kong magpasalamat sa lahat ng nagparating ng kanilang pagbati at pangungumusta (I want to thank everyone who extended their wishes for my recovery and for checking in on me),” Marcos said.

“Hindi ko na kayo ililista lahat, pero alam ko na halos lahat ng commets sa ating social media, ay puro pagbati ng ‘get well soon.’ (I will no longer mention you one-by-one but I know that almost all comments in my social media are all get-well-soon wishes),” he added.

“Kapag nababasa ko ang mga mensahe ninyo ay lalo naman akong lumalakas at lumalaban doon sa virus (I get stronger in fighting the virus whenever I see your messages),” he continued.

According to Marcos, he has now returned to work physically in the Palace but noted how technology helped him continue his job despite being in isolation.

“Sa pamamagitan ng mga teleconferencing, yung mga Zoom– eh, buti na lang ay may mga ganyang teknolohiya na ngayon (I was able to do it through teleconferencing apps like Zoom. It’s fortunate that we have this kind of technology now),” he said.

“Isa ito sa mga innovation na pinahusay pa ng pandemya. Pero, bahagi na rin talaga ng ating new normal (These are the innovations that improved because of the pandemic. They are now part of the new normal),” he added.
